Hi my name is Mr. Reggie Walker and I am a Christ-centered family man who loves God with my whole heart. I am a Augusta, Georgia native, raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. I attended Lane College in Jackson, Tennessee where I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree  in Interdisciplinary studies. I have been an educator with 10 years plus of teaching experience and a former member of MMABSE (Metropolitan Milwaukee Alliance of Black School Educators). My passion and dedication to academic progress and being a high performing teacher in the classroom has lead to my promotion to Dean of Students at Hope Christian Schools: Caritas in 2020. I believe education is a vessel leading to greater opportunities for success in our daily lives. When I am not  working I love to travel and see all of God’s beautiful creations! I love to spend quality time with my family and friends. My favorite scripture in my life is Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me." I pride myself in sharing my experiences with others to hopefully allow people to understand if God can bless me in my journey, God can certainly do it for you! My outlook on life is to always have a  positive growth mindset because I know there is nothing too hard for God!

Education has been a passion of Emma’s throughout her life. Emma attended the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and majored in Urban Education.

Emma works to ensure the elementary teachers in the building feel supported and valued; Emma is enjoying her role in helping other teachers learn and grow to ensure their students have excellent academic outcomes. As one of the staff members who has been at HOPE Caritas the longest, Emma is full of knowledge and fun facts that she loves to share with other staff members.
